I think sowhatshappening made a good point in the disco thread. There's going to be very intense frontogenic forcing on the west side of the low. The closer the LP moves to the coast, the more the coastal areas prosper. Have to see where that sets up but I'd be willing to be more aggressive with totals on the eastern envelope of the snowfall zones, particularly LI to SNE but even down to SNJ and delmarva.

* WHAT...Snow expected. Plan on slippery road conditions, including during the morning commute on Thursday. Total snow accumulations of around one inch are expected.

* WHERE...The District of Columbia, portions of central, north central and northern Maryland and central and northern Virginia.

* WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to 11 AM EST Thursday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Very cold conditions mean that snow will quickly stick on roads and sidewalks...making the Thursday morning commute dangerous. Plan ahead and allow extra time to get to your destination if traveling late Wednesday night or Thursday. Bitterly cold conditions will follow for late Thursday through the weekend causing snow to remain on untreated surfaces.
